Rating: 3/5 -- Free and Easy (a gorgeously ironic title) fits in well with absurdist works like Waiting for Godot or anything by Eugene Ionesco-it's a bleak offering where crime (and everything else) is shoulder-shrugged out of mind. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- It's not often that American audiences have the ability to view an artistic work simmering with such discontent and restless revolution from a country like China, and that's part of what makes Free and Easy so special. Full Review

Dreary as its vision often appears, Free and Easy is gently funny in all the right places, showcasing an appealing cast and solid camera work. Full Review

A former industrial town in northeastern China, now deserted and covered in snow, is the picturesque backdrop of the unexpectedly funny and dryly absurd Free and Easy, from Chinese director Geng Jun. Full Review

Those who can roll with its measured pace and playfully nonsensical story will find the sum impact drolly diverting. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Smart and archly funny. Full Review

An offbeat, sidelong glance at Chinese society which combines a striking visual impact with underplayed, deadpan humour. Full Review
